My team has needed something like this for ages...gonna give this a whirl. #hackerNewsComingInClutch
OP here:

I created this tool because on the last few teams I've worked on, pull requests would linger around and start then start to get backed up. It's not fun for managers to chase after old PRs or for developers to constantly beg each other for code reviews.

I'm hoping that this tool can help teams stay on top of their pull requests without as much manual nagging!

I created a similar open source tool for this for work a few years ago called drill-sergeant: https://github.com/zumba/drill-sergeant

However, it leaves the scheduling mechanism up to you. We currently have it on a crontab on one of our build boxes that notifies hipchat hourly and a separate cron that sends an email digest once a day.

I also created a hubot integration as well, but it is out of date since we use the direct hipchat integration: https://github.com/cjsaylor/hubot-drill-sergeant
